Reader Spotlight: Sam Lord

Meet Sam Lord a musician from the UK who has had a bass in his hands pretty much since the day he was born. So it is no surprise he’s been one of the youngest bassists around his local scene.

Sam is No Treble’s reader in the spotlight for the week of May 26th, 2014.

Bio:

I grew up in Lancaster (UK) and quickly became known for being a really young bass player who played in all the local pubs. As I got older, I took bass playing more seriously – including recording – leading me to become a session bassist. I also went on to study music production at university at Uclan whilst touring the whole UK numerous times and supporting names such as Mcfly. Now I’ve found myself playing with Aquilo.

Location:

Lancaster, UK

Day gig:

I play the bass for Aquilo and setting up my own recording studio, Crabtree House!

Years experience:

Since I was around 6 or 7 so 15 years!

Bands & Gigs:

I’m currently playing for Aquilo, an electronic style group who just had over 100,000 plays the latest single, “You There”.

London shows are in the pipeline and we’re heading out for a few festivals including Kendal Calling this summer!
